Professors Francesco Gringoli of DII and Jiska Classen of TUD have discovered security flaws to Broadcom wireless chipsets, which have been used by Apple for many years. A responsible disclosure was therefore practiced before making the flaw public, so as to give Apple (and other manufacturers) the time necessary to remedy (where possible) the problem with the release of patches.
The professor. Jiska Classen was a guest of DII thanks to the funds for the internationalization of the Department of Excellence: the discovery of the bug was made possible by crossing his knowledge of the Bluetooth chipset with the knowledge of prof. Wi-Fi related thumbnails.
